Review: VOLTE equipped Moto 3 is a quality product at a low price - The Moto G Play 2023 (unlocked) cost me $100 and serves as a great replacement for my UlePhone P13 with Andriod version 11. The Ulephone had failed due to a leaky battery. The Moto G was easy to set up. First, I opened up the box and noted that the user manual had a "quick start" manual that was too brief. As per the quick start leaflet I put in the memory card and the sim card from my old phone. The battery showed a 60% charge so I immediately shut down the phone and charged it up to 100%. Meanwhile I did a search for "Moto G Play 2023 User Manual" and downloaded the 62 page (very useful) "User Guide." Be sure to get this manual (is is a pdf file) and it is full of information. The old SDcard needed to be reformatted and this manual tells how to do this. The Moto G has an Andriod 12 operating system and has "VOLTE" which is a requirement in our area for using the local AT&T cell towers. VOLTE give you more range and greater clarity than the old communications protocol. After about 90 minutes of charging I was at 100% and I did the initial; startup procedure described in the downloaded manual. The phone connected to the AT&T tower with no problems. I made my first phone call and the sound level was more than adequate. I have a hearing disability so I expect most people would say that the phone is 'loud." I also downloaded a Kindle book ($2.99) that told me details about using Android 12. If you want the book do a search on the desertcart site for "Android 12 user manual". Most people will not get this manual but I am happy to have the extra information provided in this well-written book about the Android 12 OS. I bought the Moto play because I needed a phone and did not care about playing games, reading kindle books, or "living on the phone." The Moto G can do all of that but you would be better off to buy a much more advanced unit that costs several time as much as the Moto G. I much prefer using a separate (large) Kindle for reading, a dedicated gaming computer, and desktop computer with multiple screens for other activities. Overall, the Moto G does exactly what I wanted (a good phone) at a reasonable price. I also downloaded a few apps from the app store and they worked properly. I rate this phone as being better than expected and well worth the low price.
Review: Good Quality, Low Price - We got this for my son who's going into middle school. The specs aren't the greatest, but it's a $100 phone. I'm not expecting flag ship specs. My son loves it. It's a little big for his hands, but that's what pop sockets are for. It's got really good batter life. He's constantly watching YT videos, and the batter lasts him the entire day. It takes several minutes to reboot. That's very much so annoying. I thought the phone froze the first time I restarted it. I do like that it says 'Hello, Moto' when it finally turns on.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it. Worth upgrading 2021, version?**
A: It depends on what's important to you. In comparing the Moto G Play 2021 to the Moto G Play 2023 here's the major differences. The latest version has a higher refresh rate at 90HZ compared to 60 HZ with the 2021 model. That's probably the biggest difference for phone geeks in making the upgrade. Overall bench mark performance is still only mediocre for either device. The camera quality isn't that much better with the newer model and the battery life improvements are minor. The newer model comes with Android 12 and will eventually get a single upgrade only to OS 13. Many will like the fact that the latest model comes with 3 years of Security updates instead of only 2 years offered in the past . Keep in mind the security updates for the 2021 model already expired in Jan 2023.

**Q: Does the advertised notification LED work?**
A: Yes

**Q: Is Android 13 now shipping in the G Play 2023?  Thought I saw this somewhere.**
A: NO.  It can be a little confusing when you can inadvertently click a tab to other phones when currently viewing a certain Amazon ad which is what you probably did.   However, It's the comparably priced Moto G Stylus 2023 which I believe is what you saw which is already being shipped with Android 13.  Definitely a Moto device also worth considering.

**Q: Android 13?**
A: As of today September 30 2023 it's Android 12.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Budget Phone.
*by D***E on May 26, 2025*

I waited a month to write this review because I wanted to be completely honest. My mother is a senior citizen living on a low income, and her old phone had been broken for nearly a year. The screen would fall off, and she couldn’t even make calls properly. I really wanted to surprise her with a new phone—but as a lower-income college student myself, I couldn’t afford the latest iPhone 16, 15, or even 14. I spent about 3–4 months researching and comparing phones. I wanted to make sure every dollar I spent went toward something my mom could actually use and enjoy. That’s when I found this phone. I’ve bought iPads and computers from Amazon before, but never a phone, so I was a little hesitant. At $150, I figured it wasn’t too much of a gamble, but I’d still be disappointed if it didn’t work out. Long story short: my mom loves this phone! It connected easily to her T-Mobile service, and she really enjoys the large screen. There were no scratches, cracks, or external flaws. While she mentioned it’s a little slow at times and doesn't have a lot of storage, she still loves the color and size. She’s able to check her email, play her games, watch TikTok (which she loves), and most importantly—call and text. The battery life is surprisingly good too. It came with a charger and in its original box, which I appreciated. For $150, this phone truly delivers. No, it’s not the newest or fastest, but it’s definitely a solid option if you're on a budget. Whether you need a replacement, a backup, or even a starter phone for someone, I would absolutely recommend this. After months of searching, I’m so glad I chose this one. It allowed me to give my mom a phone she enjoys—and that alone makes it worth it. The functionality and screen brightness are good too.
